WARNING for those who drive on 495 Tysons

DoNDoN · 08-08-2010, 06:56 PM

So today I was driving from VA to MD and I hit this massive bump on the road in between Tysons and the Dulles toll road. It is on the far left lane and it is like a massive speed bump that is just there. I hit it at 65mph and it was so hard that it moved the camber plate so now I am on maximum camber on the left side. It also popped out my tow hook cover but luckily the tow hook saved it from flying off of the car.

terrible negligence by those who design and maintain that stretch of highway before the toll... How about they put a sign "SLOW- SPEED BUMP" or something like that?

These lazy fat negligent people holding those jobs and get paid but could care less?

This kind of Sh&t happens in NY on a regular basis and is like a war zone sometimes, that's why I drive with extreme caution all the time... it's tiring but safe so far

Imagine such road bump in Germany?

I hit that bump on saturday. I was so pissed, I can't believe they have such a huge bump in the fast lane of an interstate highway. Luckily I don't think my car suffered any damage.

I hit that tonight actually as well, I was lucky enough to see it and not have anyone behind me so I think I only hit it at around 40
